    You need a water softened installed where your mains comes into your kitchen cold tap.

    You are also damaging your heating and immersion/water tank.

    Also request that this be moved to the DIY forum, for the most part you won't get serious answers here.

    I'd a water softener installed, and it cost about €900 a few years ago.

    For a start, I recommend not drinking from the toilet bowl
    or you could try colgate, I think that removes limescale or maybe thats tartar?

    Are you talking about the whiteish tinge to your water as of late. Same at home here, think its just after the water source has been turned on and off due to shortages
